Implement two ioctl calls in order to support virtual userspace-driven
ALSA timers.
The first ioctl is SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_CREATE, which gets the
snd_utimer_info struct as a parameter and returns a file descriptor of
a virtual timer. It also updates the `id` field of the snd_utimer_info
struct, which provides a unique identifier for the timer (basically,
the subdevice number which can be used when creating timer instances).
This patch also introduces a tiny id allocator for the userspace-driven
timers, which guarantees that we don't have more than 128 of them in
the
system.
Another ioctl is SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_TRIGGER, which allows us to trigger
the virtual timer (and calls snd_timer_interrupt for the timer under
the hood), causing all of the timer instances binded to this timer to
execute their callbacks.
The maximum amount of ticks available for the timer is 1 for the
sake of
simplification of the userspace API. 'start', 'stop', 'open' and
'close'
callbacks for the userspace-driven timers are empty since we don't
really do any hardware initialization here.

Also the bitmap API could be useful here.
Awesome, will use it in V2.
Hmm, maybe DEFINE_IDA(), ida_alloc_max() and ida_free() would be even
better.
It looks like IDA allocator uses XArrays under the hood to allocate ids
between 0 and INT_MAX... Considering the fact, that we currently could
have up to 128 userspace-driven timers in the system, using XArrays
seems a bit redundant, and I believe bitmap approach would be more
efficient. What do you think?
